Try this link. I don't know whether it's the same one you tried since I have no idea where the "below" link took you.

Hi! As a first course of action please link the handycam and the pc via usb. By then you can copy the files from the handycam and hopefully it will open. But if not, then the dvd itself is faulty. You will need a replacement for it to work normally again. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

Try Resetting the Camcorder. To Reset the Camcorder, first open the LCD of the Camcorder to locate the Camcorder(on the side of the Camcorder, next to RECORD and VOLUME buttons). Then, press and release the RESET button using a sharp pointed object. Then, check whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue still persists service of the Camera is required.

Clean the optical lens in camera with nice quality soft cotton swab.

DCR-DVD100 is mentioned in free of cost CCD replacement scheme announced by Sony.
If you want to replace it by yourself then it requires few $$ and soldering expertise.
I would recommend to contact Sony and let the job done by Sony experts. You will spend $15 in shipment, Click Sony Support for details.
Good Luck.

i had same problem. Mine was a product defect issue and although it was out of warranty Sony repaired as this is a problem that they have had with lots of these cameras. Call Sony.

through this link you can get driver to your handycam yohttp://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SYCustomerCare?storeId=10151&catalogId=10552&langId=-1

i think you have changed the screen into other mode so that you are unable to see the recording picture there will be a switch to change the mode at the back of the cam or at the right of the cam.

i think if your handycam warranty still is there then its better to exchange it other wise check the battery still you are having problem you have to take it for repairing

The charger what u have got is not rite... get a charger which goes rite wit the battery u have...and there is a problem with the lens of your camera.. that is the reason why u r not able to record anything.... thank u
